The head is off, correct? TDC for the number one cylinder is when the piston is at the top of the cylinder. Turning the crank one revolution will only bring it back to TDC. If you are worried about moving the crank to get access to clean go ahead and move it. Just line up TDC, then mark the crank pulley, just before puttint the head in place. I did this on mine about 3 years ago, my crank did not have any marks either, I think they just corroded away. Line up the pistons first, then when installing the head use the marks on the plastic cover to time the valves to the pistons. After you have the timing belt back on turn the engine over by hand about 4 revolutions just to make sure your timing correct. Did you have the cam holder or did you just take it apart, hopefully you marked the slots where the timing belt gears attach to the cams.

What caused you to tear it apart? Are you doing a valve job?
